Authentic Torta de Fiambre Recipe - Uruguayan Dinner Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 cup pork loin (cooked and shredded)
  • 1 cup ham (sliced)
  • 1 cup cheese (shredded (like mozzarella or provolone))
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

    Sift the flour for a lighter texture.
  3. Cream Butter and Eggs

    In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and eggs until smooth.

    Use room temperature butter for better mixing.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix well. Then stir in the milk.

    Do not overmix to keep the cake fluffy.
  5. Add Meats and Cheese

    Fold in the shredded pork, sliced ham, and shredded cheese until evenly distributed.

    Reserve some cheese for topping.
  6. Bake

    Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and top with reserved cheese. Bake for 45-50 minutes.

    Check if done by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Allow the torta to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

    Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Let the torta rest before slicing for easier serving. Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors. Pair with a light salad for a refreshing contrast.
